The King and the Princes of the Biood have kept enly Piates and Spoons for Ragauts. In 24 Hours there was carried to the Mint 10 the Anmtount of Five Millions. It is thought Paris alone will furnifh Forty Millions. The Houfe of Commons have Relolved that their Thanks fhould be given to the General Oficers employed sgaink QUEBEC, for the Service done by them to their Country by the Redu&tion of that City. - o We are infosmed that Admiral Ssunders has wrote a polite Letter to the Right Honourable William Pitt, E|q; dated in tiie Chops of the Channel, in whicn he acquaints him, that as he had heard that the Breft Fieet had failed, he heped he fhould be pardoned for joining Ad- ‘miral Hawke without Orders. This Leuer of ‘Excule has heen seceived with Pleafure, as it fhews the brave Officer in exerting himielf, tho’ he had been on the Expedition in North Ame- rica for meny Months. General Townfhend ‘2s readily embraced this Oppoitunity of lending his Affiftacce. A Der. 15. It is pretended by fome Perfons that the Plan of the Operations of the French has been difcavered, viz. 40,000 French Troops from Dunkirk, swere to land in Effex, and about the fame Number at or near Cosk in Ireland, whilft M. Thurot did arm the Highlanders in in Scotland, and make a powerful Diverfion in that Kingdom, and which were to be exccuied about the fame Time. % _ We hear that his Roysl Highnefs the Duke of Camberland will very foon be declared Com- mender in Chief of his Maj:fty’s Forces, have the Firft Regiment of Foot Guards, and be Mafter General of the Ordnance.

The Landgrave of Hefle Caffel is making all his Forces complete, sud raifing 6000 freth T'roops ; fo that the Allied Army will amount to be.ween 80 and go Thoufand Men. Letters from Conftantinople, of the zoth paft, advife, that they had reccived an Account that a terrible Fire happened at.Salonica, the Capital of Theflilorica in Greece, which had reduced gbove 4000 Houles to Afhes.
